Strategic Meeting TechBlog & Podcast

As event planners and suppliers we are all aware of evolving threats that can impact our venues and attendees. The industry has never established a uniform set of international standards for safety and security. To address that need, the international Secure Venue Standard is being developed in collaboration with a number of industry organizations.

Paul Bridle and Vicki Hawarden will lead a session at the upcoming CMP Conclave in Baltimore to review the importance of standards in this critical area, then break into smaller groups to provide feedback on how the proposed standards can bets meet the needs of the industry.

​They join me on the podcast today to preview their session and talk about the vital role that providing a safe and secure environment for our attendees and guests plays in planning any event. If you're attending the CMP Conclave you should plan to attend this session and assure that your concerns and needs are met by the proposed standards.
